I love running but I’m planning a trip to Italy soon and was just wondering if you have any suggestions for workout ideas while I’m there (since running the streets is not recommended) I know if i don’t workout i will definitely get a little anxious and stir crazy! Thanks!

That all resonates so much with me!!! I often go on work-cations too, and it’s so important to find that delicate balance between enjoying being on a semi-vacay but also stick within your routine too. Sounds like you have it down! Thanks for sharing!! Xox

So cool!!! That makes a ton of sense to me. The beginning of a new change is always an adjustment, and it’s awesome that you found the perfect way to incorporate exercise into your travels to experience the culture/outdoors and feel GOOOOD while doing it! Love it!

It took me a good 6 months to get into it. At first, I just wanted to explore all of the new places I was traveling to. Now I use running and hiking as a way to see a new city AND get my sweat on at the same time. I really feel so much better when I’m consistently getting my lymphs flowing, and it makes me feel better about eating out at the local joints 🙂

While vacations give you a chance to destress and relax, exercise is definitely a part of that for me as well! Whether its walking on the beach, hiking in the mountains, or just trying a class/using the hotel gym, it can be a great way to get blood pumping to your body- and being able to eat more food/dessert is definitely a plus as well ;).

Plus I do like to keep routine. I still wake up early instead of sleeping late as I love the mornings. Right now I am on a work-cation. I had a few stops along my road trip to visit friends on my way to my work site to meet some people for a few days. I got up an hour later than usual but still had time to head to the hotel gym in the morning and then after work joined a friend for Zumba. Double workout day and. A successful day at the office makes me happy! I also bring food for breakfast with me. I like to keep my oatmeal routine and I try to have a salad each day like I do at home. When my stomach isn’t overstuffed, I feel so much better but there are a few more treats because it is vacation and you need to treat yourself and have fun! Love all your reasons for working out during vacation!

Vacation is not an excuse to slack off! I incorporate exercise into hiking in the outdoors to experience great sights, aquatic activities, yoga in the morning, the gym or even city runs!

Ilana, thanks so much! So glad you agree. <3 travel anxiety/full on life anxiety can be so hard. That's why honoring ourselves and staying true to what we need is extremely helpful when it comes to getting out of our comfort zone!!

This definitely helps me a lot, especially when thinking about future vacations. I also get really thrown off if I’m away from my normalcy, giving me travel anxiety. It’s helpful to hear how you combine relaxing with still needing to honor what is best for you 🙂
